Edson is the greatest guitar soloist we have

[sondo]

One of the most beautiful compositions ever created and this arrangement is truly a gift

[tonioclassico]

I've only heard this song played by duets and never dreamed that a solo artist could be able to perform it in its full richness. You, Sir, are a true artist. I have greatly enjoyed many of your other performance videos, but this one is a stunningly enjoyable performance. Thank you!

[RealWolfRanger]

Fantastic! You are one of the best classical guitarists on the planet!

Guitar God, with excellent expressions and Dynamics. The guitar itself is amazing with humor. Iv seen him play all the carcassi studies and it's just the best interpretation and recording available.

Impressionante!
Nunca imaginei que a Dança Espanhola nº 1 pudesse ser tocada solo.
Numa escala de 0 a 10, nota 11.
